Maximum-Density Itinerary
The Planner
Plan-making is part of how you travel.
Take the Travel Personality Type Test test
The Planner is the optimised-itinerary archetype, you research, spreadsheet, and itinerary your trips, and that work IS part of the joy.
Your packing list is optimised; your routes are calculated; your reservations are confirmed three weeks out. Your superpower is maximum-density-of-experience; your trap is when the itinerary crowds out spontaneity. You don't relax UNTIL the plan is set. Mature Planner energy includes deliberate unplanned hours, even one afternoon with nothing booked is generative.
